Nice Zuk. Like the paint job...:D

Quite interesting that you have more flex in the front than in the back. Usually the other way ´round for most folks.

actually it is pretty square, It just looks that way because of the angle im driving towards the ramp....

My Toy has similar amounts of travel (17" rear, 20" front) at both ends on flat ground:

But put the back end on an elevated surface, and the front does all the work (this rock aint tall enough, really):

You can see the exact same thing happening in Rude's pic above. The rear axle has moved a little, but is basically still perpindicular to the frame.

No front driveshaft in the picture.....
He might have a shaft now, the solid axle is new.

I couldn't even afford the driveshaft after the SAS, so twin cases were out too. :(

Drove it around in 2WD for about a month before I got the driveshaft installed two days before our trip to LBL, back in early april.

So yeah, it's 4WD now. Once I get a second case installed (not for a loooong time. Need to save up some money for tuition this fall) and a set of non-swamper 35s for freeway use, I'll be sure to let you and Tim know we need to take a little trail ride. ;) :cool2:

hey rude what degree is that ramp. not to say anything bad about your rig but it seems like a pretty small angle. Maybe it's just my eyes???

Well i think it was a 30*...If you look at the pic, my front tire was starting to drive on the ramp......I think it is your eyes.

Yes there is a front shaft in this......Jess made both of these shafts!
No cases yet, waiting on OTT to make the adapter for this.....6cyl with an auto.....Does pretty well though!
